[QUOTE="dearl, post: 351659, member: 1760"] No in fact thats good place for it, depending on how big a fuel tank you plan on using. I've heard you dont want it over 10' from the motor or you'll have fuel pump problems but I've seen them as high as 20' from the motor and not a problem. You'll probably end up moving things around once you get it in the water, weight distribution is everything with a jet motor. you dont want to be plowing the water at take off or you'll boil the water around the impellor and cause a cavitation issues.
